FFXIV better stop doing what WoW's doing, because its losing millions of subs.

Hasn't WoW become more casual friendly in the years? I seriously doubt it bled subs due to "lack of time" for its players, otherwise FF14 would have been bled dry ages ago. As everyone else already pointed out, WoW was just too slow to push out new stuff and what happens when nothing gets updated? People stop caring and find something else to do.

The point i was making is it has become TOO casual friendly, to the point you just blast to level 100, do LFR a few times for gear, and you've experienced pretty much the whole expansion. There's no incentive to do dungeons, raids, or anything really because everything you need you can get from LFR. This is very similar to FFXIV, but the only difference is Yoshida was smart enough to make esoterics better than the alex normal gear, so people will stick around a bit longer to try and get the eso gear.

EDIT: FFXIV haven't shot themselves in the foot quite yet, but they are dangerously close to doing the exact same thing that is costing blizzard 5M subscriber dollars, at 15 bux a month thats a ton of money. Devs can only make content so fast.
